Let our editors and contributors loose in Mexico for a week and what do you come back with—apart from a mezcal hangover? We hit plenty of bars, but the real discovery was Mexico City's dynamic culture and vivacious spirit: from a boy-turned-girl club queen to a thriving gay soccer league; from an elegant rooftop restaurant to the best tortilla soup ever; from a chic hotel hideaway in Condesa to an island of delightfully creepy dolls in Xochimilco. We found it all, and a lot more, while making side trips to Cancún and Puerto Vallarta.
